Marching Band Pep Club Cont. 1 dentg and Betty Ven Huizen, secretary-treasurer. The club's sponsors are Miss Carlson and Miss Schlintz. The Pep Club got its real start at our first home football game. The students were all there, but they Weren't sitting in a large group, so their cheering was not heard. After this game the sit- uation proceeded in much the same fashion until the club was organized. Then at the last home game a section for the Pep Club members was roped off to help give it a fine start and a chance for a bright future. Twirlers Jeane Rup Page 46 This club has sponsored three bake sales dur- ing the school year. The money from these sales was used to help pay for hats, which the Club bought. I Next year the Pep Club intends to purchase uniforms to make it possible for them to march on the football field and basketball court. The uniform is to consist of: a hat, shoes, blouse, vest, slacks, and possibly gloves of the same design and color. The marching will consist of panto- mine drills and stunts which will be worked out by club members. Next year we are looking for- ward to a larger membership, the new school, and more spirit. One student is all that was enrolled in the Fulton Community High School Twirling Corps this year. The title of Drum Major- ette has been bestowed upon J eane Rus, a veteran of previous year's corps. She has been enrolled three years, was a twirler for two years, and a leader her senior year. She has been instructed by Mrs. Charles DeWild, a champion batonist.
